I actually didn't comment on the 7304's, as I don't have any experience on
those.  Does this also apply on the NPE-G2, perhaps?  In my experience, the
NPE-G1 works very well, I haven't worked with G2 yet.

I've done up to 600-700 Mbit/s on NPE-G1 (7301), without any significant
problems (nasty load, though, don't recommend it).

Definitely.  Thanks for the tip.
